Reference Management Software
Zotero
Zotero is a free reference management tool, enabling you to store, organise, search, filter and annotate your research materials and its bibliographic data. The software can generate your footnotes and bibliographies in Chicago-style (and other styles as needed) using word processor plugins, or directly within Zotero. Most word processors support integration with Zotero.
Your research and bibliographic data is stored locally on your device, enabling access even when your formal studies conclude. Zotero also offers an optional, paid cloud-service for syncing your data across multiple devices.
EndNote
University of Divinity suspended new licences and support for EndNote in September 2024. New or student licenses can be purchased by individuals from EndNote directly.
Other reference management tools and resources
